Following College World Series on Web, Phone Almost Like Being There

You tried everything but just couldn’t make the trip to Omaha for the College World Series this year. Or maybe you made it to Omaha, but can’t attend all the games. Now you’re trying to stay on top of the action from afar. No worries. Just tap into the resources on the web outlined below and you’ll feel like you’re right there – almost.

Ways to stay on top of all the CWS action:

On the webTwitter
Twitter is the best way to get real-time updates and reactions of others watching the games from vantage points including the bleachers, press box, sports bar or living room.

You don’t even need a Twitter account. Just go to www.twitter.com and type related search terms in the search box. For starters, type in hash tag #CWS. Or try searching the name of a team, player, broadcaster, etc. that interests you. It’s like watching the game with dozens of friends you have never met. Easier yet, just check out the list I created on Twitter.
